Horizon Stage Renovations - Week 5

The new reinforced concrete pad has been poured under the seats, and the framing of the new, larger office, has begun. This new office will allow both technicians to work in the office at the same time..JPG)
Our old marquee sign out front has been removed, and will be replaced with a brand new LED sign. This sign will allow us to have more information, and add updates more frequently..JPG)
This is a photo of the ceiling in the lobby. The heating units need to be moved to allow this area of the ceiling to be higher than before. Also, the new piping is a brand new sprinkler system for the lobby.

Horizon Stage Renovations - Week 4
For week 4, demolition has been completed, and major construction begins.
Now that the floor has been demolished and cleaned out, the ground has been leveled, and new conduit run so that the reinforced concrete base can be poured.
In this photo, the welders are welding new beams into the ceiling so that the catwalks can be suspended from the grid. These catwalks will speed up the lighting hang and focus aspects of the show mounting process.
The dressing rooms have begun to be rewired, for new lighting fixtures, and outlets.

Horizon Stage’s 2008/2009 Season Goes on Sale August 18th
The Theatre’s 26th Season includes lots of great shows for a variety of tastes.
Once again, Horizon Stage has programmed a diverse and exciting season of artists. From the comedy of Lorne Elliott, to the legendary Ian Tyson, to classic children’s entertainers Sharon and Bram, the Spruce Grove theatre always has something for everyone.
Because the theatre will still be under construction, Horizon Stage will present The Banff Centre’s 75th Anniversary Alberta Tour on September 27th at St Augustine’s Parkland Anglican Church. Classical music lovers will enjoy Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and the Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1 performed by one of the Banff Centre’s grand pianos and a selection of string instruments.
Comedian Lorne Elliott will be the first artist to perform on the newly renovated stage on November 1st, followed by acoustic guitarists Brian Gore, Andy Sheppard, Dale Kavanagh and Cecilia Zabala in International Guitar Night, The Original Caste, who are best known for their song One Tin Soldier, and The Horizon Players production of The Three Musketeers.
Celtic and Christmas music enthusiasts will enjoy La Nef’s A Celtic Christmas in December. Horizon Stage’s Family Matinee Series also opens that month with Bouge de là’s Like the Five Fingers on Your Hand, a remarkable movement piece all about the five senses.
2009 starts off right with Alberta favourite Ian Tyson performing 5 concerts in January, followed by DuffleBag Theatre’s Robin Hood and country music duet Ennis.
February is jam-packed with blues legend Jim Byrnes; gypsy jazz musicians, The Marc Atkinson Trio; Ballet Jörgen Canada’s Romeo and Juliet on Valentine’s Day; Green Thumb Theatre’s Cranked; Canadian a cappella super-group The Nylons; and The Mud Bay Jugglers.
Eagles fans will be thrilled to see cover band Hotel California in March, while historical theatre lovers and anyone interested in the Great Depression will enjoy the incredibly moving 10 Lost Years by Barry Broadfoot. The Horizon Players will present the family friendly musical Disney’s 101 Dalmatians at the end of March.
In April, Jazz aficionados will clamor to see the great Oliver Jones, and waltz and polka devotees will enjoy the always popular Emeralds. Closing the season will be the much-loved children’s musicians Sharon and Bram performing two matinee concerts on April 18th.
Horizon Stage ticket prices range from $10 to $40, depending on the show. Patrons can build their own season packages and receive discounts of 10 – 20%. Family Matinee Packages are also available.
